Now that you’ve got your Shark Week Watch Party Essentials, it’s time to sit back and watch some truly fascinating and frightening TV! Maybe that’s the thing that I really enjoy about Shark Week. It’s a glimpse into the depths of the ocean and you never really know when the sharks will swim up from below and attack.

Come to think of it, I’ve never been much of a fan of swimming in the ocean. And especially now that shark sightings have become way more frequent along the Jersey shore! No thanks! I’ll stay on dry land. In fact, I’ll safely enjoy watching these beautiful, stealthy, and unpredictable animals from the comfort of my couch!

Before this terrifying week of shark attacks and up-close-and-personal encounters begins, I made a simple wine glass project using my Cricut Explore Air 2 perfect for Shark Week watch-a-thons. The first glass I made was this “Stop! Hammer time!” glass.

I uploaded a hammerhead shark silhouette into Design Space and sized it to fit my wine glass. Then, I used the Marker Felt font to create my text in all caps. I cut the design on holographic vinyl (it reminded me of ocean water) and placed it on my glass.

For the other glass, I followed the same steps. But this time, I uploaded a Great White shark silhouette into Design Space. Then, I used the Cricut font, Sweet Dreams, to create my text. And that’s it!

Get ready for summer’s biggest week in television! Shark Week is back and I’m sharing everything you need to get your Shark Week watch party started!

It’s that time of year again, animal lovers! Shark Week is just 10 days away! Shark Week is kind of a big deal in our house. We tune in every year! Actually, most of the year, our TV is tuned to some kind of animal/nature show. We watch vet shows, behind-the-scenes zoo shows, nature documentaries – the works!

But Shark Week is a whole ‘nother story! Sharks are fascinating creatures. In fact, over the past few years, there have been a few Great White Shark sightings along the Jersey shore. We’ve had quite a few reports already (also, reports of hammerheads and tiger sharks)! While that might strike fear in some, the reports of pings along the coast have definitely excited us!

If you’re fascinated by sharks and getting ready to tune into some fin-tastic TV, check out these essentials for your Shark Week watch party! I’ve included everything from clothing, decor, serveware, and even a couple goodies to nibble on while you watch this shark-infested event!

Bite into this Shark Week cheese board before it bites into you! It’s the perfect thing to snack on while binge watching Shark Week episodes!

Shark Week is more than just a week of fin-tastic TV viewing in our house. It’s become an annual tradition of watching documentaries, shark attack encounters, and all of that crazy undersea action! Of course, when your husband is hooked – no pun intended – on every shark program that’s aired during the summer, sometimes it’s a bit much. But it’s still a great excuse to hang out on the couch with tasty, summer snacks!

And what’s my absolute favorite snack to nosh on while having a TV watching marathon? A cheese board! Now, this might not be the prettiest cheese board you’ve ever seen. In fact, it’s downright terrifying! You’re basically staring down at a hungry cheese board shark that’s staring back up at you! Watch those fingers when you dive in to snatch a cracker or piece of cheese!

So here’s what you need to make a Shark Week cheese board totally worthy of sinking your teeth into:

Seedless green grapes

Almonds

Dried apricots

Town House Spinach, Artichoke & Feta Flatbread Crisps

Prosciutto slices

Mini fresh mozzarella balls

Sharp white cheddar cheese

Pepperoni slices

Greek olive mix with feta cubes

Sweety drop peppers

Dried cranberries

Peppadew peppers

Chipotle BellaVitano Sartori Cheese

I suggest starting with the almonds, making a triangular shape at top and working your way down with the rest of the ingredients. Also, if you have an apple corer handy, it’ll be easier to make the teeth and eyes with that. I cut white cheddar into small triangles for the teeth and then used the apple corer to shape the bottoms. Then, I used it to make a circle of cheese for the eyes and placed sliced olives on top.

A cheese board is only as good as the wine you serve with it. I love a nice, chilled white wine in the summer. Since this is a shark-themed board, I decided to buy a couple bottles of beachy labeled wines. The perfect accompaniment to this Shark Week inspired cheese board! Pour yourself a glass, sit back, and dig into a terrifyingly delicious snack! Will you be tuning into Shark Week?
